Euphoria.

The northbound drive along Hudson terrace gives the most breathtaking view of the George Washington Bridge. I appreciate everything that's elevated, all while listening to music. I played some of my favorites songs on my way home this evening. I use to listen to music every chance I got because it gave me an unexplainable high. It was my escape from everything going on. It makes me feel so damn good. Artists like Lana Del Rey, Nate Ruess, Neil Diamond, and the Fray could make me excited and cry at the same time. One of the lines in "Heartbeat" is, "I wanna kiss your scars tonight..", a line that was probably meant literally, which to me is so beautiful and sexy, but its meaning might have been to "heal" one's heart.  I could play that song over and over again. Music is the only thing that's ever been able to cater to my desires and soothe my irritable passions. When nothing in my life makes sense, music does, and I can find myself in a song.  I close my eyes a lot when I listen and I let it take me. Beethoven once said. "Music should strike fire from a heart of a man, and bring tears from the eyes of a woman". Pay attention, this is one of my all time favorites.  Strange, though, isn't it? Every kind of music I listen to refers always to love. Everything always goes back to it. It reminds me of how everyone out there simply wants to be loved, if not held by someone. We all do, we want...I want to be loved the same way music makes me feel loved. I want it to be just as euphoric.
